Boomerville, Quartzsite, Arizona January 9-28

We arrived at the Escapees Boomers group site, "Boomerville" on January 9th. We had the coordinates for Boomerville center and parked about 60 yards south in a practically deserted area with only a few other rigs.

In a few days the area quickly filled with many different rigs camped helter skelter around the various desert washes.  We spent the next 19 days visiting both the vendors and the big RV show in Quartzsite.

Boomerville had a variety of activities with music, Kareoke, daily happy hours, and an auction to raise money for the Escapees retirement community, "CARE" at Livingston Texas.

In Quartzsite there are acres and acres of vendors.  Manny have their shops set up during most of the winter.

The CARE auction and other fund raising activities at Boomerville raised over $18,000 to support the Care facility. Before breaking camp, we took a day trip to the Crystal Hill in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.

 

We didn't find very many crystals, but surely enjoyed the Pizza and beer afterward at Big Al's. 

The drone video I shot really illustrates the sea of RVs in the area.  The Boomers is only one group out of many who get together around Quartzsite in January. At the close of Boomerville over 220 RVs had signed in at Boomerville headquarters.

There are at least six BLM (Bureau of Land Management) areas around Quartzsite where nomads can camp for a few days or weeks.  The video shows only a small portion of the Plomosa Road BLM.

The last few days of Boomerville produced some wonderful sunsets.
